Cousin Emily's Birthday Party

Derek's cousin Joyce had an Elmo-themed birthday party over the weekend for her daughter, Emily, who recently turned 2. They live in Plymouth which is about an hour away from our house. The party started at 3:00 so we headed down after S&Z woke up from their nap.

Joyce was so sweet to wait for our arrival before doing the pinata.


There were water tables set up,



And play-doh! Big cousin Kaylan LOVES playing with Silas & Zoe!


Zoe gravitated towards Emily's shopping cart,


And Silas loved the sandbox.


By this point in the party, Silas was soaked from the water table and filthy from the sandbox so he was stripped down to his onesie.



And then it was time for cake! Joyce takes after her mom, Derek's Aunt Doreen, who is an amazing baker. Joyce baked and decorated this Elmo cake for Emily!


All the kids sat at picnic tables for cake (which was delicious!),




It was such a fun day! We were so happy to be able to celebrate with the birthday girl!

We convinced him that he should start out by drafting content and a posting calendar. We made templates this morning and he wrote his first "post" today!

Today Derek gave Silas his traditional mid-summer haircut. Today the weather was perfect and we enjoyed bike rides (them) / a walk (me) in the park after lunch. Today Zoe chased the cats until they succumbed to her love and adoration. Today I put the garbage on the curb for weekly pickup and realized that we didn't have any! We recycle and compost far more than we throw away. I am grateful to be able to teach Zoe & Silas these habits. Empty trash barrel Countertop compost bin  Backyard compost bin that we bought at Town Hall Food compost, including the hair from Silas' haircut today! Today I checked on the rooftop vegetable patio garden - it's doing great! Today we went school supply shopping so that I can enjoy the last month of summer without worrying abou...

Silas, 7/26/17

The context for this post is that S&Z started two weeks of daily swimming lessons in the outdoor town pool on Monday. The beginning of this week also happened to start with two of the coldest days of the summer!
